Barack Obama Takes Health Care Show on the Road to Ohio as Locals Democrats Reps Stay Away

Talk about the reverse Midas touch. Just a little over one year in office and Democrats are running away from The Chosen One.

President Barack Obama took his travel health care and snake oil show on the road to Ohio today. A funny thing happened, he was met with protests from the people and local Democrat politicians ran for the hills.

Another Democrat flees the scene…
Ohio Dem Rep. John Boccieri skipped out on Barack Obama’s dog and pony health care rodeo today in Ohio.

As reported at the NY Times, Representative John Boccieri, Democrat of Ohio,  will not be attending President Obama’s health care rally on Monday in Strongsville, Ohio

Representative John Boccieri, Democrat of Ohio, whose vote on major health care legislation could be crucial to the outcome, will not be attending President Obama’s health care rally on Monday in Strongsville, Ohio, not far from Mr. Boccieri’s own district, a spokeswoman said.

In recent days, Mr. Boccieri has indicated that he is undecided on the current version of the health care legislation. In November, he was one of 39 Democrats who voted against the House bill. At the time, he cited concerns that the legislation did not do enough to contain soaring health care costs.

It’s not the first time that politicians were distancing them self from Obama. When the Obamacare road show came to St. Louis, Democrat candidate Robin Carnahan was MIA.

Rielle Hunter Speaks for First Time in GQ Regarding John Edwards Affair, Elizabeth Edwards & Andrew Young

It appears that some one is looking for their 15 minutes of fame to continue, or is it infamy?

Hunter says she’s still in love with “Johnny” … Good grief.

It would seem Rielle forgot to wear pants the day of the GQ photo shoot

Rielle Hunter, the mother of former Democrat Senator and Presidential wanna be John Edward’s love child,  talks for the first time in GQ interview. It would appear that Rielle Hunter was not paid by GQ by the amount of clothes she was wearing.

We’ve heard from former senator John Edwards, we’ve heard from his soon-to-be-ex-wife, Saint Elizabeth, and we’ve heard (bleh) from Andrew Young, the former Edwards aide and faux father. But through it all—the affair and the cancer-stricken spouse, the doomed campaign and the love child, the sex tape, all of it—we’ve never heard from the woman at the heart of the story. Now, after years of silence, the other woman speaks.

In the extensive article, Rielle Hunter goes on to discuss her affair with John Edwards, his wive Elizabeth Edwards and as she refers to him the loose canon Andrew Young. Just a hunch, but Rielle Hunter is probably not the best source for info on Elizabeth Edwards. Just a thought.

Now, though, she’s talking, in an extensive new GQ interview obtained by The Washington Post. It’s a doozy. Wrath of Elizabeth? If John Edwards feared his wife so much then when did he cheat on her in the fear of getting caught? Imagine the wrath The Breck girl endured from Elizabeth when that occurred.

Hunter says she’s still in love with “Johnny” and believes he loves her. That they went to bed together the day they met. That his marriage was “toxic,” that he feared “the wrath of Elizabeth.” That it was Young’s idea for the coverup in which he claimed paternity. That she had no idea how much money — now the subject of a grand jury inquiry – was being funneled to her from top campaign donors.

UPDATE I: From Hot Air, VIDEO from The View … ‘Edwards mistress crushed that GQ used racy photos which she enthusiastically posed for’

CNN has more on ‘Hunter upset over GQ photos.’

GET “Rielle”!!! Hey sweetie, you are the one who posed for them, did you think the camera was not taking pictures? I am pretty sure you could hear the shutter opening and closing while the pics were taken of you by the GQ photographer while you were scantily clad.

Peter Graves, Star of Mission Impossible Dies at Age 83

Peter Graves, best known for his role as Jim Phelps on the TV series ‘Mission: Impossible’ has died at the age of 83. According to reports he died of a heart attack at his home in Pacific Palisades, CA. He is survived by his wife, Joan Graves, and three daughters, Amanda Lee Graves, Claudia King Graves and Kelly Jean Graves.

Peter Graves: 1926 – 2010, Rest in Peace

Mr. Graves played his most famous television character from 1967 to 1973 in “Mission: Impossible,” reprising it from 1988 to 1990. He was Jim Phelps, the leader of the Impossible Missions Force, a super-secret government organization that conducted dangerous undercover assignments (which he always chose to accept). After the tape summarizing the objective self-destructed, the team would use not violence, but elaborate con games to trap the villains. In his role, Mr. Graves was a model of cool, deadpan efficiency.

In 1997, Mr. Graves was the subject of his own “Biography” presentation, “Peter Graves: Mission Accomplished.” In 2002, Mr. Graves was interviewed for a special about the documentary series, “Biography: 15 Years and Counting.”

Of course many remember Peter Graves for his role in the spoof movie Airplane, that was a farce of the Airport movies. Also for his numerous movies,  his documentary series, “Biography: 15 Years and Counting” and his most recent Geico commercials.    Graves had one of the best voices in the business. He will be missed.

It was a testament to Mr. Graves’s earnest, unhammy ability to make fun of himself that after decades of playing square he-men and straitlaced authority figures, he was perhaps best known to younger audiences for a deadpan line in “Airplane!” (“Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?”) and one from a memorable Geico car insurance commercial (“I was one lucky woman”).

E on line has further information on the life of Peter Graves.

Born Peter Aurness in Minneapolis, he served in the U.S. Air Force in 1944-45, studied drama at the University of Minnesota, and then followed his older brother, Gunsmoke star James Arness, to Hollywood.

How as a kid I could not wait until ‘Mission: Impossible’ would come in.  Rest in Peace Jim Phelps … This tape will self destruct in 5 seconds. Gog Bless.
